How amazing, all those comments on the tutorial for my sprig blanket! Thanx! As I mention in that tutorial: a blanket with such a lacy structure definately needs a good edge in order to be strong and firm. I am of the most humble opinion that granny square blankets need an edge, period. And so does this spring blanket. The edge I crocheted around this blanket has leaves. Wanna hear how I did it? Read on.

Okay, here's how it goes!So, you've made the blanket following my tutorial. First you crochet DC's all around the blanket, in the same colour as the colour of your quares. In my case that's white. If you follow her her steps, you can see how to make a flate boarder when crocheting an edge around a granny square blanket. Between squares you crochet 2 DC's together, that's the trick! In the corners you crochet 3 DC's.Next you crochet 3 rounds of SC's in 3 different colours, I used light yellow (2496), bright green (2517) and bright yellow (2518) by Softfun, Scheepjeswol. In the corners you crochet 3 SC's.Switch back to white (2412) and crochet a round of 2 DC's (skip 2 stitches) chain 2 and 2 DC's all around, crochet 3 DC's in the corners. To finish, as a last round to make the leaves, crochet in the chain 2 openings ~2 DC chain 2 and 2 DC~ and put a SC on top of the 2 DC of the last round. In the corners you crochet 3 DC's.
